端粒相关锌指蛋白基因TASL30在人早期胚胎与组织中的mRNA表达及染色体定位

采用原位杂交和RNA点杂交方法,观察了一种新的端粒相关锌指基因TASL30在早期人胚与50种器官组织中的mRNA表达。结果表明,TASL30基因在早期人胚神经管中有明显表达,其中在神经管的头端表达最强,而在人的50种器官组织中均未检测到该基因的明显表达。另外通过G－显带和染色体原位杂交,将TASL30基因定位于人染色体12q24～qter。 Abstract:By means of in situ hybridization and RNA dot blot,mRNA expression of a telomereic-associated zinc finger gene（TASL30 ）was observed.The results showed that TASL30 gene was expressed in significant amount in neural tube of early human embryo and the cephalic expression level was the highest,but none of recognizable positive signal was detected in 50 human tissues.By G-banding and chromosome in situ hybridization,TASL30 gene was located in chromosome 12q24～qter.     

湖南汉族、侗族16对遗传性状的调查

本文对湖南汉族、侗族的16对遗传性状进行了调查.计算出了每对性状的出现率及除扣手和交叉臂外的14对遗传性状的基因频率,分析了民族间和性别间的差异,同时还分析了惯用手、扣手、交叉臂之间的关系。 Abstract:Sixteen genetic traits were investigated in Han and Dong nationalities of Hunan Province.The frequencies of all the sixteen genetic traits and the gene frequencies of fourteen genetic traits except hand-clasping and arm-folding were calculated.The differences between two nationalities and those between male and female were ana-lyzed.The relations among handedness,hand-clasping and arm-folding were also analyzed.     

B细胞免疫球蛋白与T细胞抗原受体基因的种系结构及其体细胞重排

免疫现象的第一步是免疫活性细胞对抗原的识 别。脊椎动物和人体有两类免疫活性细胞与抗原发生 特异性结合反应：B淋巴细胞表面的抗原受体与可溶 性抗原反应,T淋巴细胞表面的抗原受体与细胞表面 抗原反应。这些受体分子的基本结构单位是类似的异 型二聚体（heterodimer) ; B细胞抗原受体（B cell rece ptor, BCR）由轻链（L）和重链(H)构成,T细胞抗原 受体（T cell receptor, TCR）由,链和0链构成。抗原 分子多种多样。一个抗原分子还往往会有一个以上的 表位（e pi tope）或称抗原决定基（antigenic determinant) 均应有与它互补的对位（paratope）即抗原受体可与它 发生特异性结合反应。一个脊推动物或人体的B细胞 和T细胞必需而且事实上具备极为丰富的抗原受体贮 备库。在抗原刺激下,带有特异性抗原受体的B细胞 或T细胞发生克隆扩增（clonal multiplication),每个克 险只具有一种抗原结合特异性。这里有两个矛盾。一 个是淋巴细胞基因组内基因有限,与为如此众多受体 蛋白质分子编码需要大量遗传信息之间的矛盾;另一 个是淋巴细胞基因组的全能性与一个成熟淋巴细胞只 表现一种抗原受体特异性之间的矛盾。探究这些矛盾 的奥秘是近三十年来免疫遗传学中一个吸引人而又使 人烦恼的课题。     

PCR-SSP分型检测上海汉族人群HLA-Cw位点血清学和非血清学鉴定的等位基因

应用补体介导的微量淋巴细胞毒实验可检出ＨＬＡＣｗ１～１０,但有２０％～５０％的空白（ｂｌａｎｋ）不能检出。利用ＰＣＲＳＳＰ对７０例上海汉族样本进行ＨＬＡＣｗ等位基因分型,首次在中国汉族人群中检出Ｃｗ１２０１／１２０２、１２０３、１３０１、１４、１６０１、１６０２、１７０１等非血清学鉴定的抗原,并对血清学鉴定抗原的基因进行分型,依次为Ｃｗ０１、０２、０３０２／０３０４、０３０３、０４、０５０１、０６０２、０７０１／０７０２／０７０３及０８。ＰＣＲＳＰ分型使上海汉族人群ＨＬＡＣｗ位点空白基因频率从０．３０７下降到０．０２８。１２例样本检出Ｃｗ０８,与原来认为中国人群中Ｃｗ８罕见的观点不符。结果证明,ＰＣＲＳＳＰ用于ＨＬＡＣｗ基因分型是快速、准确的。     

Biomechanism of impact resistance in the woodpecker’s head and its application

The woodpecker does not suffer head/eye impact injuries while drumming on a tree trunk with high acceleration(more than 1000×g) and high frequency.The mechanism that protects the woodpecker’s head has aroused the interest of ornithologists,biologists and scientists in the areas of mechanical engineering,material science and electronics engineering.This article reviews the literature on the biomechanisms and materials responsible for protecting the woodpecker from head impact injury and their applications in engineering and human protection.

Identification and characterization of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans with high activity and resistance isolated from ancient mine area

A highly active ferrous iron oxidation Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain SY, was isolated from an ancient copper mining area in Daye, Hubei Province. Analysis of 16S rDNA sequence showed that the strain has high similarity to the sequence of A. ferrooxidans (DQ 062116.1). Physiological and biochemical determinations showed that the strain was a chemical energy autotrophically with the optimal growth pH at 2.0 and optimal growth temperature at 30 ℃. The MTC of the strain to resist Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺ were respectively at 300, 350, 700, and 800 (mmol/L), demonstrated it has high resistance against multiple heavy metal ions. Bioleaching data of SY showed its bioleaching rate on native ore was as high as 84.28%, higher than bioleaching rate on the ore from other mining areas, showing it has very high superiority on bioleaching native ore. The strain SY has great potential in the application of native minerals bioleaching.
